Maintenance

Maintenance Mode

On this page you can enable and disable maintenance mode. You can also provide a custom message to visitors to let them know the website is in maintenance mode.

Reseting Cached Files

Here you can reset the cache files and template files that are generated automatically by the cms. If caching is enabled the cms automatically creates html cahce files for category pages and other content. The cms also creates copies of product images and category images etc. at specific sizes when requested. By caching these files the cms processing time and memory usage is reduced and page load times are faster. It is safe to reset cached files as they will be regenerated again automatically as needed.

Updating Page Templates

If you upload new page template files the cms will automatically import them as long as you are logged in as the main admin. You can also force the cms to import/update by clicking the reset or update page templates button. Use the reset button if you want to clear out old and unused page templates - it will remove all imported page template files first and then import afresh from your theme directory. Update works the same except it will only import/update page templates and it won’t remove any old imported templates.

Reseting Data

You can reset the data that your cms has stored such as category data, user data etc. Reseting data will permanently delete the data so make sure you have made a backup beforehand.

Pruning User Accounts

There is a button to prune old and unused user accounts. This is useful to remove any spam user accounts that may have been registered over time. In general you should only need to use this if you have been running the cms for more than a year and have thousands of user accounts. Again it recommended to create a backup beforehand.
